| Enrollment |
Any person 18 years of age and not enrolled in a secondary school may register for classes. A person between the ages of 16 and 18 may be considered a person with special needs and admitted to appropriate programs provided that he or she is classified as a "dropout" by the secondary school and the board of education. Proof of this status must be submitted on the special application which is available from the program coordinator. A person 16 years of age or older and still enrolled in a secondary school may enroll in selected courses upon written permission by the school principal during the school months and by both the school principal and the superintendent during the summer months.
Some courses have special admission requirements. Also, for some courses, the number of students who may enroll is limited. The program coordinator should be contacted for additional information. |
